I sincerely hope it's true. I hope the door doesn't hit him on the way out.

[praha 11,240]

Hopefully all the corruption will stop now.

DD an appropriately immature response.

Whatever you think of AD he was probably the one who allowed the Demons to survive in 2003/2004 when we were broke. He has been a huge supporter of the 16 team competition and has been in charge of the AFL while it has supported our recovery.

You can look at the small issues and get your back up. I'll look at the big picture, I'll look at the deals he struck with the TV stations that have provided enough money for the whole league to survive and I'll be thankful. And next year when I look at our team on the park I'll recognize the contribution AD has made towards that.

I expect to be part of a very small and select group.

Greatful of his contribution to the AFL but he seems to put his head in the sand far to often in regards to particular issues. He isn't aggressive enough and needs to be more upfront. He treats the fans like peseants and needs to screw on his head sometimes.

I reckon he has done a fine job. There is always going to be critics and there will always be people who are dissapointed. I agree with fan.

Don't get too excited...short memory must have a....

Anyone at Dallas Brooks Hall in 1996 should contrast the Wayne Jackson/Ross Okley period with the AD one.

I don't want to go through that again and don't think we will thanks to the strengthening that has occurred, partly due to AD's reign.

Let's hope they pick another Victorian if this is true

Well said Fan. I can't recall Wayne Jackson or Ross Oakley providing compensation to us, the bulldogs or the roos for a heavily fixed draw.

'Fark off' yourself. Show some respect.

Try stepping into Demetriou's shoes. That is one job I would never want to do.

As Deelicious said, everything he does, good, bad, stupid or genius, he gets scrutinised.

I just wonder who will be his replacement if he does leave.

[dazzledavey36 55,359]

D08 i can say watever i bloody wanna say about him! i have always hated him from the very start. i do not wanna show respect to him!! does a shocking job at the brownlow every year!

[Choko 493]

I think his priorities for the game are all wrong and I will be happy to see the back of him.

I think turning his back on the Telstra Dome transfer agreement sold out fans, and allowing the draw to be totally pillaged by the rich sides has created more inequity in our competition than ever. I think this compensation point is a farce - the AFL has created a self-fulfilling prophecy that creates the need for compensation.

And yes, he has supported 16 teams, but he intervenes in Boardrooms (buying North shares, saying he supports Butterss, etc..) and would love North to be re-located/re-branded/destroyed.

He is incapable of responding to criticism in a positive way, and is evasive when asked about issues that are controversial. He has swept many issues under the carpet, and the current TV deal is an absolute disgrace in that if you don't have Foxtel, you don't have footy.

Ditto 'Choko'.

Pass me a bucket.

The League has issued a statement saying the story of Fonzie quitting had no substance whatsoever and was completely false. So end of rumor...

Is there any substance to the story that the Fonze will investigate Carlton's arrangements with Judd?

[Diablo 1]

I don't think the problem is Demetriou. Much as he is pig-headed and overly stubborn, I think the problem is Adrian Anderson.

I hope sheedy gets the top job
